    Depends how bold you want to be, obviously black or white would work fine, but I think you might get away with another bright colour, like maybe a raspberry shade (I did a course in colour therapy a few years ago, not to do with clothes particularly, just colour, its amazing how your view of colour changes after that). Or a plum colour.

    I have so much black in my wardrobe, its ridiculous and I am making an effort to wear other things, I teach fitness classes and I have so many black t shirts and yoga trousers that Im sick of myself, hence trying to make more efforts to wear bright colours when Im not teaching.

    I think the pink and electric blue works really well

    Thanks, yes I could see it with blue on the bottom half and a fuchsia T. But I have the opposite dilemma. My top half will be blue so I am thinking maybe black, grey rot an trousers...which I shall have to buy....

    I recently found my best ever bargain at my local CS. It was a North Face body warmer for my 5 year old Son in immaculate condition priced at £1.50, RRP is £45!!!
    As a North Face wearer myself I love his bodywarmer and he loves it too. I'm due another little boy anytime now and this will be kept for him too! Definately a bargain :)
